[Project No. 4451-000]
Green Mountain Power Corporation, City of Somersworth, New
Hampshire; Notice of Authorization for Continued Project Operation
The license for the Lower Great Falls Hydroelectric Project No.
4451 was issued for a period ending April 30, 2022.
Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the
Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue from year-to-
year an annual license to the then licensee(s) under the terms and
conditions of the prior license until a new license is issued, or the
project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section 15 or any other
applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior license waived
the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based on section 9(b)
of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c), and as set forth
at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project has filed an
application for a subsequent license, the licensee may continue to
operate the
[[Page 30218]]
project in accordance with the terms and conditions of the license
after the minor or minor part license expires, until the Commission
acts on its application. If the licensee of such a project has not
filed an application for a subsequent license, then it may be required,
pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a license for the project or otherwise
orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 4451 is issued to
Green Mountain Power Corporation and the City of Somersworth, New
Hampshire for a period effective May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023 or
until the issuance of a new license for the project or other
disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. If issuance of a new
license (or other disposition) does not take place on or before April
30, 2023, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c), an
annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is renewed
automatically without further order or notice by the Commission, unless
the Commission orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that Green Mountain Power Corporation and the City of
Somersworth, New Hampshire are authorized to continue operation of the
Lower Great Falls Hydroelectric Project under the terms and conditions
of the prior license until the issuance of a new license for the
project or other disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first.
Dated: May 11, 2022.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
